My Age of Investment

   "Richard, do you see it? This is the charm of new energy vehicles. The Tesla Model S sold 3,000 units in just three days.

   Before the pre-sale of the Model S, Tesla had just received investment from Daimler and Toyota, with a post-investment valuation of $1.55 billion.

   So what is its current valuation?

  $2 Billion! And this is the lowest offer from many investment institutions.

  My friend, new energy vehicles are on fire!

   Investing in this industry now can reap unimaginable profits in the future. "

  In an office in Anaheim, Orange County, California, blond Henrik Fisker pointed to the computer screen and tried his best to describe the prospect of new energy vehicles to a middle-aged Asian man.

   Fisker knew the identity of the man in front of him, and he believed that as long as he successfully persuaded the other party, then Fisker Motors would have no shortage of development funds in the future.

  Li Yikai ignored Fisk and stared at the computer screen.

   A video is playing on the screen, the Tesla Model S pre-sale conference.

   Looking at Xia Jingxing's high-spirited appearance on the stage, Li Yikai felt jealous and angry in his heart. .

  As a graduate of Stanford University, he once had a dream in the technology industry and put it into action.

   But unfortunately, real estate on Hong Kong Island is too tempting, he couldn't hold back and turned the Silicon Valley of Hong Kong Island into countless villas and high-rise apartments.

   A few days ago, he was very uncomfortable when he learned about the pre-sale conference of Tesla Model S, who was accompanying him in Canada.

  Seeing that Xia Jingxing has made outstanding achievements in a major field again, but he has nothing to do with this enemy, except for a few words, he cannot bring any substantial harm to Xia Jingxing.

   Li Yikai had already forgotten about this, but a friend suddenly recommended him an electric car project.

   So, Li Yikai left his girlfriend who was about to give birth and came to California to watch the project.

  How to get revenge on Xia Jingxing?

   Li Yikai has his own set of strategies.

   On Hong Kong Island, their family's Lai Kee Whampoa Telecom cooperated with Wisdom Fruit to snip Fuxing mobile phones;

   In the Mainland, the Penguin he invested in is fighting fiercely with the domestic holdings;

  If it is in the United States, Xia Jingxing's industrial base camp will set up another cannon, aiming at Xia Jingxing and blasting hard.

   Then his Ambush is basically in place.

  Although he hated Xia Jingxing, Li Yikai still had basic rationality and business judgment.

   Facebook, which is untouchable by Yahoo and Google, does not dare to look for trouble.

  Because even if he invests or starts a social networking site, he will definitely not be able to do Facebook.

   However, Xia Jingxing's other industrial positions are not so reliable, and relatively speaking, it is easier to break through.

  Li Yikai planned to pick these weak industries to start, and pull out Xia Jingxing's minions one by one.

   At the same time, he had to admit that Xia Jingxing had a great vision, and the selected industries and industries had great potential.

   He invested in a company to fight Xia Jingxing in the arena. Revenge is only one of them, and the other is to bring huge returns on investment.

  Although the industries he has invested in are still losing money, he is the one who gave up easily.

   He couldn't believe it, Xia Jingxing laid out so many industries, not a single one missed.

   As long as he wins once, he can greatly export his anger, and at the same time recover all his previous losses.

   "Mr. Fisker, as far as I know, your company doesn't make pure electric vehicles, so what are you going to use to compete with Tesla?"

   Li Yikai's question is very sharp, after all, he is not a real "Kaizi", and he will not be easily persuaded and paid for by Fisk in a few words.

  Fisker smiled, "Our first model, the karma, is a large four-door hybrid sports car. The reason for choosing a hybrid is because I firmly believe that now is not the time to actively develop pure electric vehicles."

  Li Yikai sneered, "Tesla sold 3,000 vehicles in three days, don't you think highly of them?"

   Fisker explained quickly: "I admire the new energy vehicle industry, not Tesla.

   The breakthrough in new energy technology gave Tesla a chance to shock the industry.

   But their good luck ends here, and Tesla will definitely encounter major troubles and major crises next. "

   Hearing this, Li Yikai couldn't sit still and asked, "What crisis?"

   "Crisis of bankruptcy!"

   Fisker sneered, "Tesla was smart enough to choose to build a pure electric car as soon as it came up, but they never thought about the problems after the pure electric car was sold?"

  Li Yikai saw that Fisk looked like a wise man who could see through everything, and was completely aroused by his interest. He said, "What's the problem after selling it?"

   "Long-distance travel problem! What should I do if there is no electricity? Charging in the wilderness? I can only get down and push the cart to go home!"

  Fisk remembered the "advice" he gave Daeron earlier.

   persuaded the other party to make a hybrid car, but he refused to listen and insisted on making a pure electric car.

   is still too young!

  The old man is a little aggressive, and he is going further and further on the wrong road of pure electric vehicles.

  Thinking of this, Fisk couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

  If Tesla chooses to change the track to enter the hybrid field, Fisker will undoubtedly usher in a strong enemy.

   In order to ensure his own safety, he could only teach Daeron a lesson.

  Li Yikai looked thoughtful and asked, "You mean the problem of the charging network?"

   Fisker laughed: "Yes, there are no charging stations on the highway, and the car can only wait for rescue when there is no electricity.

  Although Tesla claims to be able to run more than 300 or 400 kilometers, it is actually their false propaganda to mislead consumers.

   The cruising range they marked was actually achieved at the most ideal speed and road conditions.

   In actual driving, the cruising range of consumers will be less than tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers.

   Generally, the mileage of a car is less than 100 kilometers, and the owner does not dare to drive any more, and needs to be charged. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble to break down on the roadside.

   Deducting these two items, Tesla’s real cruising range is only over 100 kilometers, at most 200 kilometers.

   With such a short battery life, you can only run in the city and close to home. If you run too far, you will not be able to come back.

   Think about it, is such a car practical? "

  Li Yikai thought about it for a while, felt it made sense, and nodded quickly.

  Fisk saw that the young master, the former richest man in Asia, was mobilizing his mind little by little, and said while the iron was hot: "The hybrid car is different. Our usage scenarios and practicability are much stronger than Tesla."

   "But Tesla still sold 3,000 cars."

   Seeing that Li Yikai has been holding on to this question, Fisk had to explain a few more words.

   "Daren is very good at marketing, and it is normal for some rich people to chase Tesla, but you have to believe that there are not so many fools in this world.

   When the freshness passes, Tesla can only be reduced to a niche product, and then keep losing money until it goes bankrupt. "

  Li Yikai shook his head, "Darren Xia holds at least tens of billions of dollars in cash, and he won't let Tesla down easily."

   "That means he hasn't lost so much that he can't bear it, and he hasn't lost so much that he's desperate.

   Losing $100 million, he doesn't care;

   Losing 1 billion US dollars, he has some pain in his flesh;

   With a loss of $5 billion, he could only stop the loss with tears. "

   Fisk's words made Li Yikai laugh, he thought to himself, this seems to be a good way to let Xia Jingxing bleed.

   "Tesla's sales will stagnate at a few thousand or 10,000 units a year, and it will never go up.

   And Fisker will get bigger and bigger, with annual sales exceeding 10,000, 50,000, and 100,000.

  Our ultimate goal is to become a universal in the field of new energy! "

   Li Yikai coughed and reminded in a low voice, "GM is going bankrupt."

  Fisk showed embarrassment, and changed his words: "GM is too immutable, so it has fallen into the field where it is today.

  The emergence of new energy technologies has actually brought an opportunity for the auto industry to reshuffle the cards. In the future, new energy car companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars will be born. "

The figure of   100 billion US dollars moved Li Yikai a bit. He smiled and asked, "How much is Fisk going to raise?"

Knowing that the fish was hooked, Fisker smiled faintly, "We are not short of money. Not long after Tesla got a $500 million loan from the Department of Energy, we also obtained a loan of $528 million from the Department of Energy. In terms of amount, it is more than them.

   In addition, 3000 fans including Hollywood star Leonardo have placed orders for our Karma cars.

  The venture capital firm in Silicon Valley is planning to invest $600 million in us.

   If you want to invest, you can invest a little behind them, but the stake will not be too much. "

   Seeing Fisk's arrogant appearance, Li Yikai was not only not angry, but relieved a lot.

   "Mr. Fisk, if I bid the highest, can my family lead the investment, or even be a sole investment?"

  Li Yikai showed his courage. After all, the U.S. Department of Energy dared to issue a loan of more than 500 million US dollars to Fisker Motors, so he had nothing to worry about with an equity investment of 600 million US dollars.

  Fisk sighed and smiled bitterly, "Richard, your request embarrassed me! Forget it, give me some time to think about it."

  I don't want any investment that comes to my door. Li Yikai secretly marvels, it seems that there is really no shortage of investors!

   "Okay, you've thought it through, you can call me at any time."

  Li Yikai smiled and shook hands with Fisk, turned and left.

   Walking to the door, he turned around and said, "Mr. Fisker, our family fund is always looking for high-quality companies that can grow into world giants.

  If Fisker Motors wants to become a world-class giant in the field of new energy vehicles, the support of long-term large funds must be indispensable on the road of growth. "

  Fisk understood what the other party meant and smiled, "I will consider it carefully!"
